A Boros-themed deck, also featuring Gideon. Tried to keep it confined to cards from the Ravnica blocks (with an exception for Gideon 1.0 to satisfy my Vorthos endeavours). and the only watermarks present are Boros.

Reckoning: Can utilize the infamous infinite combo of Boros Reckoner, Boros Charm, and burn spells. Add lifelink and/or Blaze Commando for maximum effect.

Battalion: Tried to include some useful Battalion effects, particularly Frontline Medic and Legion Loyalist.

Flavour: Added Tajic, Argus, Razia, and Aurelia to maximize the Legendary influence, and for some synergy. (Razia would be easiest to cut.)

Burns: Homing Lightning to decimate the token-based decks I often encounter in my casual circle; Arrows of Justice for some defence; Aurelia's Fury for flavour and late-game fun; Warleader's Helix because it's stronger and cheaper (monetarily) than Lightning Helix. Also Foundry Champion, if it comes out after a sea of tokens has been gathered.

Mana fixing: The Gatecrash version of this deck had 2 Boros Keyrunes, but I've subbed one out for a Boros Cluestone - once I playtest, I may go all clues or all keys. The Garrison is handy for the double-shot of mana, replacing a third Guildgate from the original version.

Odds & Ends: Boros Battleshaper has a potentially helpful ability in late-game, but its cost makes it expendable when I revise this list. Gideon, Champion of Justice is so awesome as an attacker (especially against Selesnya/token decks) that I would rarely use his final; Gideon Jura is present for Vorthosian completion (though it has a handy effect). Oblivion Ring is present because, well, when isn't it useful in a white deck?
